Philipp Bärfuss updated MGNLSTK-457:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.2
> Drop teaser image selection from page dialog
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MGNLSTK-457
> URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLSTK-457
> Project: Magnolia Standard Templating Kit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Boris Kraft
> Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
> Fix For: 1.2
>
>
> As discussed a long time ago on the me-list:
> ---
> I would like to remove the teaser image definition from the page info
> dialog. Instead I propose to simply use the first image found in the
> main section as the teaser image. I believe this would improve
> usability and reduce complexity.
> * if you have images in an article / event / glossary item / news, the
> first image is probably the one that is most relevant to the article
> and hence useful as a teaser image
> * if you have no image (for a news maybe?) you probably don't want to
> tease using a contrived image that is only used for the teaser, so its
> ok to use no image at all.
> * if you don't like the image to be used in the teaser or really want
> one even though the teased page doesn't show one, you can still
> overwrite it from the teaser paragraph
> From my own experience in building the new demo site I can say that
> it is foremost confusing when the teaser image doesn't match the image
> in the article, and it is additional and rather needless work.
> Now, there may be cases where you really need a specific teaser image
> which actually is used in more than one or two locations, in which
> case it might actually make sense to have that teaser image assigned
> to the article instead of selecting it manually from the DMS for each
> teaser - but I reckon this is rare enough to either do it (manually)
> or - in that specific case) - add the feature to a custom page info
> dialog.
> ---
> As a new and further idea, we could later allow to select a teaser image from
> any image found within the content f the teased page, much like Facebook
> allows you to scroll through images found from a "shared" web page. (that
> would be a nifty new control)
